After the photo was removed, Kaur reposted it, pointing out that it does not violate Instagram's stated guidelines.

The guidelines state that users are prohibited from sharing content that: belongs to someone else, shows nudity, mature, or illegal content, or promotes or glorifies self-harm, none of which Kaur believes her photo did.

And then by Thursday morning, the post had reappeared on Kaur's Instagram page with an apology.

The photo-sharing app said the image's removal was a mistake. A spokesperson from Instagram told BuzzFeed Life via email: “When our team processes reports from other members of the Instagram community, we occasionally make a mistake. In this case, we wrongly removed content and worked to rectify the error as soon as we were notified. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Kaur celebrated the return of her photos with a post on — yes — Instagram.
